Spain, Morocco To Build Undersea Rail Tunnels
DoraLives writes "The BBC reports that Spain and Morocco 'have agreed to build a 39-kilometre rail tunnel beneath the Mediterranean Sea, to link Europe and Africa.' and that 'This plan could be put into action as early as next year...' Fairly daunting technical piece of work should they attempt it, but the prospect of an all-rail trip from Edinburgh to Tangiers is intriguing to say the least."
Considering no one is holding a gun to anyone's head and forcing them into a McDonalds or Starbucks if the local culture does disappear (and I'm highly skeptical that it will, such predictions have been almost universally false) wouldn't it be because the locals *chose* to abandon it?
Please, oh please, do not tell the local touts, tour guides and souvenir sales men where the train will stop in Tangier. I do not want to have to disappoint anyone when I refuse to pay 2 Euro for someone to hail a taxi for me.
Pardon my French, but how the FUCK did you relate my post to US military spending? Do you go out and look for places to troll? Did I mention US military spending once in my post? Did I even mention the US, or compare anything the US does to what Spain is doing? Did you fucking read the post before you responded?
Morons like you are what make TRUE activists with worth while opinions look like idiots. They have to deal with the perception that people who believe in their cause are all a bunch of mindless morons that spout off their propaganda at anything that moves, including fucking posts about a tunnel from Morocco to Spain. Do whatever causes you believe in a favor and shut the hell up so that non-idiots can articulate their ideas and solutions without having morons like you drag their name through mud. You have enough brains to be the spokesmen for shit, and that is it.
